#57. Banquet of the Gods (2)
“Uh, so today you have an important task at the gods’ banquet… ”
Namshin, almost shirtless, looks around the audience and continues his speech.
There were about twenty people gathered in front.
Among them were Damdeok and Jusoyul.
“Do I have to work for such an ordinary guy? “Something hurts my pride.”
Damdeok muttered softly as he licked his lips.
“Even though he looks like that, he is probably a mid-level god with authority delegated by Zeus.”
Even though Jooyul said that, Damdeok still had a somewhat depressed expression on his face.
“I thought I would see Zeus… .”
“I’ll see you soon anyway, but… “Are you upset?”
“what? What is heartache? “Am I a kid?”
Ju Soo-yul turned his head without saying a word.
That feels even worse!
“Hey, no.”
“Okay, I understand.”
“after.”
Actually, what Jooyul said is correct. I finally got this part-time job after applying three times.
But everyone looks like an ordinary god.
If this happens, wouldn’t I, who have failed twice, become too small?
“Tch, I can’t believe I got rejected twice when I was just looking for a part-time job as a server!”
The recruitment notice stated that the minimum physical strength was 50,000, but for some reason, I was rejected as soon as I clicked on the application.
I didn’t understand. Damdeok’s spiritual power was 70,000 units at that time.
The fact that I found out that the average strength of the other applicants was over 90,000 was purely thanks to Joo-yul’s tip.
‘In the end, they only accepted me after hitting 90,000, damn Olympus.’
To achieve that, we had to go around many gates and have a black-yeold party.
There was a funny incident where the cameraman was told that he couldn’t enter the gate, so Joo-yul had to carry himself inside.
‘Well, thanks to the good address rate, I was able to quickly increase my stamina.’
Anyway, there was no place like this for his strategy, so what could he do if he didn’t like it?
“Okay then, please read all the precautions and let’s move on!”
The part-time workers moved slowly following the instructions of the shirtless Namshin.
As I left the small clearing and went straight up the winding hill, the pure white clouds beneath my feet were truly fantastic.
“Wow, how high is it here?”
“It will be about 3000m above sea level.”
Damdeok’s mouth opened at those words.
“… But I’ve been curious about this for a while. What do you not know?”
Naturally, Ju Ju-yul chewed those words.
I was able to reach the Temple of Olympus in less than 5 minutes.
At the end, the slope was almost 90 degrees, so it was impossible to climb up without strength.
“Wow… “You’re crazy.”
The Temple of Olympus unfolding before my eyes was much more beautiful than I had imagined.
The pure white pillars built in the ancient Greek architectural style made my heart feel majestic just by looking at them.
Before I had time to take my time to appreciate it, I heard a voice urging me from behind.
“Come on, the banquet is in 3 hours from now, so let’s move quickly!”
The man who guided us pushed his back.
The place we arrived at was a huge kitchen, like something you would only see in a dream.
“Why is the kitchen so big and white? .”
“Olympus kids like white things.”
“There you two! “Stop making a fuss and quickly get some food!”
The chef who shouted like that was a goddess of outstanding beauty.
Even though she was holding a bloody kitchen knife in both hands and her eyes were glaring, beauty was quietly overflowing.
The real work began.
Unsurprised by the size of the banquet hall, which was several times larger than the large kitchen, about 20 part-time workers began to get busy setting up tablecloths, napkins, and cutlery.
Still, since everyone’s physical strength exceeded 90,000, they were able to quickly complete the complicated setting process.
But the real work started then.
“ruler! Vegetables and seasonal fruits sent by Demeter (goddess of grain)!”
“This is the rum sent by Dionysus (the god of wine)!”
“Transport all the wild boar meat that Artemis (goddess of hunting) slaughtered!!”
There were several auxiliary kitchens behind the main kitchen, and each person took charge of each auxiliary kitchen and began moving the ingredients coming up from the bottom of the mountain to the main kitchen.
Food quickly piled up in the backyard of the auxiliary kitchen.
“Why are there so many!”
The actual serving work had not even begun yet, and I was about to use up all my energy moving the food ingredients.
– will!
“Ahh! Baek Seol, won’t you put that down?!”
To make matters worse, Snow White was drooling over the food ingredients and making a bad move.
Probably because all the food is of the highest quality.
Actually, my mouth was watering while I was moving it.
“You man, stay inside quietly!”

I grabbed the scruff of the neck of the guy who was about to bite the boar’s hind leg and shoved it into the back of my neck.
Hercules’ lion skin was worn like a hooded hat, leaving a lot of space behind the neck.
“It’s a good thing you’re small.”
I felt a heavy weight on the back of my neck and looked straight ahead again.
A sky pulley moves constantly on a steep cliff.
Food pouring into the backyard again.
A sigh escaped me.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to use my body so purely since Tor’s dungeon toil.
Looking around, I saw that in the backyard right next to me, Juryul was silently and quickly moving materials, and beyond that, other gods were mobilizing priests to carry out the work efficiently.
Damdeok’s eyes sparkled.
“Whoa!”
I straightened my back and calculated my remaining strength.
“Kkkkk, that’s why a lot of spiritual power was needed.”
The ‘God’s Call’ power does not consume divine power as much as you might think.
Rather, it is difficult to use the Opening Ceremony skill, which continuously reduces spiritual power. This is because the call of a god only costs one amount of divine power when it is first called.
“Eh?”
“what?”
Before we knew it, Baekgureum and Adele Sharon, who had been summoned, were looking at Damdeok with puzzled expressions.
“Come on guys.”
Damdeok smiled and pointed at the ingredients that were piling up like a mountain.
White Cloud and Adele Sharon’s expressions became increasingly rotten.
“hey! Are you crazy?! “I was filming a movie right now?!”
“Oh brother! “I was also at a very important press conference!”
Despite the two’s loud complaints, Damdeok ignored them and pushed his back.
“Come on, guys. Get rid of worldly attachments! Did you forget? “If we cannot prevent Ragnarok (War of the Gods), there will be no future for this world.”
At Damdeok’s words, Adele Sharon and Baekgureum made sullen expressions.
“… “What does delivering food have to do with stopping the war of the gods?”
“I know yeah.”
The two looked at Damdeok carrying the ingredients alone with a displeased expression.
Eventually they had to roll up their sleeves.
“Kwaaah! “What is this rum barrel that’s so heavy?!”
Adele Sharon was dragging a large barrel of rum while screaming all sorts of things, and Baekgureum started carrying several pieces of fruit on his back, saying he could not lose to Damdeok.
When I did it alone, I accumulated more than I could move, but when we all did it together, it ended quite smoothly.
“Whoa, good job everyone.”
Damdeok wiped the sweat flowing down his face and gave him a thumbs up.
White Cloud and Adele Sharon were already sprawled out in the backyard, breathing heavily.
When I glanced to the side, I saw that Jooyul had moved all his luggage without breaking a sweat.
“Hey, you monster… .”
Damdeok shook his head and entered the auxiliary kitchen.
Part-timers stood in front of the doors of several auxiliary kitchens connected to the main kitchen.
Everyone surrounded one main kitchen, and the chef, who was standing in the center with his arms crossed, nodded in satisfaction.
“Everyone listen carefully. It doesn’t matter whether you hire a priest or someone from the auxiliary kitchen there, here! There are no mistakes in my kitchen! Do you understand what I mean?!”
The beautiful chef Ariel, who served as the master chef for this banquet of the gods, began to assign tasks to each of the part-time gods, starting with a fierce warning.
“You trim the ingredients!”
“You wash fruit!”
“Let’s make soup!” Cut vegetables! Chop meat!”
“Come on, everyone, move quickly!”
The kitchen started to run noisily.
Juso-yul had a high average physical strength, so he got to work in the main kitchen, and Damdeok, Adele Sharon, and Baek Gureum returned to their assigned auxiliary kitchens and began to carry out their duties.
“Wow, do I have to be here chopping green onions? uh?!”
Da da da da da!
With his quick knife skills, Baek Gureum cut the green onion to pieces and glared at Damdeok.
Damdeok was nodding his head with a happy face.
Perhaps because he was a swordsman genius, his sword skills were exceptional.
Next to the huffing White Cloud, Adele Sharon was also glaring at Damdeok as if he were going to kill him.
“I was crazy for wanting to become a priest… Me in the past! die!!”
Grumble! Good luck!
Adele Sharon summoned fireballs in both hands and was grilling meat until golden brown.
Even though Adele Sharon has mana deficiency, she can create enough flames to grill meat.
A satisfied smile spread across Damdeok’s lips.
“Good good! “As expected of my priests.”
“Noisy!”
“I’ll kill you!”
After lightly laughing off the two’s vicious cries, Damdeok also rolled up his sleeves and started working.
Burbubbuk! Plop!
A fist filled with divine power repeatedly strikes the thick body of a wild boar.
The sound of it being rolled up somehow felt like a training punching bag.
When everyone in the kitchen is busy doing their job,
De-eng!
De-eng!
A large bell rang.
Soon, the Master Chef’s shout was heard.
“The banquet is starting! “All the hall servers come out!!”
* * *
“… “Why are you dressed like that?”
Master Chef Ariel tilted her head and looked at Damdeok.
“hmm… Is it strange?”
Damdeok looked at Ariel while holding a large roast turkey in his hand.
It was quite a strange combination, wearing shiny lion armor and holding a plate of food.
“It looks so flashy… Since it’s a banquet, I wonder if that would actually work better… ? Hmm, you look really similar to Hercules.”
Ariel mumbled and motioned for them to just go.
“Hercules, you don’t have that tight-lipped personality. okay! It’s nice to have a banquet feel! Pass! Now next!”
Damdeok, who safely(?) passed Ariel’s inspection before serving the final serving, made his way towards the banquet hall with somewhat lighter steps.
Just about ten steps from the main kitchen, I passed the guests arriving one after another and placed the roast turkey in the designated spot.
‘Jeoju rate said he was worried about whether this operation would work… .’
I am absolutely certain.
I’m sure it will work.
‘Has Hades not come yet?’
As I was taking a quick look around, I heard a familiar voice.
[No, who is this? My lovely student~ Isn’t he Yu.Dam.Deok!!]
This extremely greasy and over-the-top voice… .
As expected, as soon as I turned around, a handsome man with blonde hair caught my eye.
“Haha, hello Apollo.”
As Apollo gently wrapped his arms around his shoulders, loud voices were heard one after another.
[No, it’s not Damdeok! Your outfit is very cool! As expected, you are full of passion!]
[That’s right, a part-time job as a server! Cancer, it’s a romantic thing!]
As Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, began to laugh around Damdeok, the other gods who were sitting began to glance at him.
“hmm? “It’s my first time seeing this face.”
“So you look very much like Hercules.”
“Haha! Food served by Hercules! “Do you think this will taste good?”
“Hahaha! “I kind of like that guy!”
The atmosphere was positive.
Perhaps it was because three people of the main lord level showed favor at once, and perhaps it was because the lion armor I wore was a symbol of Hercules.
‘Hercules has a good reputation among the gods.’
He was a hero who saved Olympus from the war with the Titan gods.
After a quick greeting with the gods he knew, Damdeok quickly began serving.
The wind sprint skill added a refreshing sense of speed, and the double serving with Baekseol was also shown as an event.
The gods’ reaction was truly explosive.
A whistle blew every time food was placed, cheers erupted when several pieces were thrown at once, and wahaha! Laughter burst out.
Chef Ariel’s expression was also very satisfying.
It was then.
[…] Pfft.]
A wet and creepy voice struck Damdeok’s whole body.
It was a definite feeling that all my nerve cells were on edge.
Damdeok’s head slowly turned.
I saw a huge shadow hanging over the entrance to the banquet hall.
The man in the darkness, swallowing up even the dazzling sunlight, looked at Damdeok and smiled.
[I managed to find a place to die on my own.]
